Workers passed buckets to take up donations for White’s family, and stickers with his initials in red and gold were distributed to place on their hard hats.

“The hearts are heavy,” stadium project co-director Jonathan Harvey said. “It’s been a difficult time. Everybody has the family in mind. But I think getting some normalcy back to the construction workers and their lives is important.”

The 49ers will plant a tree in a plaza outside the stadium in White’s memory.
